The AI optimists are not that much more rational if you dig deep. Like any deep problem it is best to look at the facts not the hype and make up your own mind, outsourcing your thinking to other people never ends well.

Agree, but natural languages have ambiguity, the AI output should really include the assumptions and we seriously need to replace the word "prompt" with "conversation".

I noticed an ex-colleagues sci-fi novels are all now free epub downloads here for anyone interested in sci-fi [rodyne.com] - halfway through his last book and really resonating so far.

Good, I hope he spends it all on big fucking rockets, fast cars and space cities.. but I am sure the usual haters will find some reasons why we should all be angry..

I think its obvious that a few billion neurons connected together are not conscious either.. Yet!

Why bother, if the bad actors was that good it could just make up the conversation using your voice and AI.

There has been a very big adoption of ENGLISH as a programming language in the last year or so, and, painful as it sounds, AI is already generating machine code without compilers, so let's see where we are in 2030.

If people are going to live in space for any period of time then they are going to need gravity so long term, yes.

Kindle gone, Kobo in. Bit more friction but I mostly just read library ebooks, free ebooks or the 500 ebooks books I took off my old kindle library a few years ago before I left.

Keep Calm, (Install KoReader) and Carry On.

Valuable real-estate, it wont have any tariffs!

Well said Comrade.

Shame, I only tried one once and it tasted quite nice, too expensive though. I guess I was in the minority.

Interesting looking at the data, that Norway generates 4x the electricity of NZ and they are roughly the same size and population I assume it exports most.

I'm going to try and give it a go on a zero2 I have lying around. Thanks, this is exactly what I come to hacker news for.

Respectfully, not everyone shares this view.

If the government knew every single user on the internet's name, address, phone number and what they had for breakfast, it would not stop monsters like this, or even slow them down.

big opportunity here for therealhackernews.com

Humans know this too, that's why they prefix sentences with "I might be wrong, but.." or "I think.."

If you work in C and are happy with the standard libraries and don't want to go too deep into the hardware then most of the 8-bit micros are pretty similar. During COVID and the component shortages I had to do a bit of swapping around, luckily it was all GPIO, I2C and UART stuff so nothing too taxing.

It was tested on humans first

Party like its 1974

I miss Steve Jobs.

Rather than top scientists, the fund should target the young scientists, and or promoting companies that will employ these guys locally. Once lost to somewhere like the US, they rarely return. Me and a Lot of my friends who left in 97 and I still keep in touch with would never return without similar opportunities locally or the same seed funding we can get in US.

Already discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20282985 Great intro though

There used to be a local hackathon where I used to live in London. Amazingly talented people used to attend, great social, I really miss going to these events

Works really well for me. tks

If you admit they are educated, maybe they are seeing something you are not.

I hope my idea for a dating app for dogs is not on this, it's going to make me millions!

You may be right, but I would approach this with an open mind. Whether the trajectory of AI development remains an asymptote to human intelligence or surpasses it entirely, the increasing investment, involvement of diverse stakeholders, and growing stakes suggest that virtually every job role may face disruption or, at the very least, re-evaluation.
